A sweet spot at the Beach! Fabulous pet free, smoke free oceanfront villa. | Condo in Fripp Island

Welcome to “Sunspot”, a completely renovated (May 2022), tastefully furnished beachfront condominium on beautiful Fripp Island. Sunspot is in the Captain John Fripp Villas, centrally located on the Island, with the very best stretch of beach – whether at high tide or low! Unlike public beaches, such as Hilton Head and Myrtle Beach, Fripp Island is secluded and serene. Even during the high season, the beach is not too crowded to spread out a family’s worth of towels, chairs, coolers and umbrellas, and still have room to build a sandcastle! This beautifully updated condo has two bedrooms and two completely renovated full bathrooms upstairs, and a half bath on the first floor. Wake to expansive views of the Atlantic Ocean. The master bedroom (which has the ocean view) has a stunning queen bed and a lovely, sophisticated en suite bath with a fabulous shower and plenty of vanity storage. The guest room has a queen bed and beautiful built-in bunk beds. The additional full bath is just off the hallway. This bathroom is super cute, with updated fixtures and a nicely tiled tub/shower combination. Each bedroom has a flat screen television, and the guest room t.v. has a DVD player built in! There is ample closet space and plenty of storage for clothes in chests of drawers in each room.
The first floor includes a laundry room with washer and dryer. We do provide a small supply of washing detergent upon your arrival. The kitchen is fully equipped, with plates, glasses, flatware, cookware and utensils, with a full sized dishwasher for your convenience. It includes a five burner smooth top electric stove with oven and microwave, a combo coffee machine for automatic drip or single cup brewing, a toaster, a blender and a full sized refrigerator with ice maker. All appliances are brand new as of May 2022!
There is a half bath on the first floor (not available in many of the two bedroom condos); a dining area which can seat up to eight; and a comfortable den with a large, stylish sofa, a roomy accent chair and a 60” flat screen television for your viewing pleasure. A DVD player and large array of movies are available for your use. There are also connections for Roku or other streaming devices. Right outside the sliding glass door is a patio with a charcoal grill and a nice wrought iron table and chair ensemble with a large patio umbrella for shade. Parents can sip coffee in the morning, or cocktails in the evening, and enjoy the ocean vista while small children cavort on the grassy yard directly behind the villa. The convenient boardwalk to the white sand beach is just steps away. The John Fripp Villas complex has a private pool for residents and guests, if one wants to take a fresh water dip or just relax in the sun without the sand!
We do not provide a golf cart with our rental home. I seriously considered making that an option, but after weighing the pros and cons, decided it was best to let guests rent from one of the local companies. I could provide it myself, and then increase fees for the guest to cover the costs of purchase, use, maintenance and insurance. However, if there were a problem with the cart, it might take several days (or even weeks) for me to be able to get the cart repaired. It is not easy for an individual to get a cart attended to during the busy season, as all the commercial companies are concerned with their own repairs/replacements, etc. If a guest rents a cart themselves, they are assured that the golf cart company will get a replacement cart to them very quickly if there are any problems.
Located 19 miles east of Beaufort, South Carolina, Fripp is a private, 3000 acre nature preserve, which boasts two spectacular golf courses; a Racquet club with eight Fast-Dry clay courts and two hard courts; 7 pools; a full-service Marina; land and water rentals including golf carts, bicycles, mopeds, Carolina Skiffs and kayaks; and guided trips on the “Fripper II”, the Island pontoon cruiser. There are several restaurants on the island, as well as the “Beach Club Food Court”, serving everything from fine dining to burgers and chicken fingers. There are also several fun “watering holes” for the adults to enjoy!
One will certainly enjoy a lovely beach vacation at Fripp relaxing on our spacious beach, playing in the sand and surf, hiking, biking, fishing, and visiting with family and friends in a relaxing and beautiful atmosphere. One can take day trips to nearby Hunting Island State Park, the quaint shops and restaurants of Frogmore, Historic Beaufort, Hilton Head, Savannah, and Charleston. The Captain John Fripp Villa complex has a private pool for the use of our guests. Also, our full kitchen makes cooking complete meals for the family in the villa easy and convenient.
The golf courses, tennis courts, island restaurants, and several island pools are owned and operated by the Fripp Island Golf and Beach Resort. Other resort amenities include the Fripp Children’s camp, recreational equipment rentals, golf cart rentals, and various club-sponsored activities. The resort has a Club Guest Pass policy. In order to access the resort amenities a club guest card must be purchased for each individual aged thirteen and older. Anyone under thirteen must be accompanied by an adult with a club guest card. For guests wishing to order club guest cards, there is a resort fee added to the rental rate. The resort fee is 12.8% of the rental rate (before cleaning fees and taxes). This fee is required by the Fripp Island Resort for anyone utilizing the club amenities. The resort fee is in addition to the club card costs. This is a policy implemented by the new resort owners, as of February 24, 2023. Please note, because the resort fee is not automatically applied via the VRBO platform, the additional amount for resort fees and amenities cards is paid to the homeowner directly. This will be a separate charge on the signed rental agreement. The cost for a weekly club guest card (5-8 days) is $50.00 each during the Summer - typically Memorial Day through Labor Day weekend - and $35.00 for a four-day card (1-4 days). During the rest of the year, the cost for weekly cards is $35.00 and the cost for four-day cards is $25.00. Guest cards are purchased through property owners, and we can certainly order those for our guests who would like to have them. If you do not wish to order Club guest cards, and do not wish to use club amenities, this resort fee will not apply to your rental!
Rental of the villa is contingent upon direct communication between the guest and the homeowner. No rental will be considered complete and valid until a signed rental agreement has been received by both parties! Although we love pets (we have several of our own), we do not take our pets, and we do not allow guests to bring pets to the villa. No, dogs, cats, birds, turtles, lizards, hamsters, gerbils, guinea pigs, hedgehogs... nada! We have outfitted our villa with very nice furnishings, and we expect our guests to take good care of our vacation home.
Fripp Island is just a short distance from the historic towns of Beaufort and Charleston, South Carolina, and Savannah, Georgia. One can easily visit any or all three of these fabulous and charming locations to enjoy antiquing, historic tours, retail shopping, and elegant dining. Many blockbuster movies such as “The Big Chill”, “The Prince of Tides”, “Forrest Gump”, and “The Jungle Book” have been filmed in the area because it provides the perfect combination of natural beauty, historic significance, and innate Southern charm.
